JAKARTA - The Ukrainian Armed Forces will launch retaliatory strikes against Russian forces in several operational areas, Ukrainian Presidential Adviser Mykhailo Podolyak wrote on Twitter Wednesday.

"This radically changes the disposition," he added, without providing details.

In the latest news about the war, the general staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces referred to a 'high intensity of hostilities', but did not say where the fighting was heaviest.

Furthermore, Ukrainian officials also explained that the death toll in war has increased since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.

Meanwhile, the emergency services in eastern Ukraine in the Kharkiv region said on Wednesday, at least about 500 residents of the city of Kharkiv had died.

Separately, Ukraine's Attorney General Iryna Venediktova said on Facebook that at least 103 children had died so far in the war. In addition, Russian troops have attacked more than 400 educational institutions and 59 of them have been destroyed.

The governor of the Chernihiv region in northern Ukraine said there was no electricity in the region's main city, Chernihiv, or in several other settlements in the area.

However, Governor Viacheslav Chaus said the Ukrainian Armed Forces were "very strong and are dealing powerful blows to the Russian enemy every hour."
